309 Punk Project is the only artist-run organization in the South committed solely to archiving the creative efforts of the region’s punk and DIY culture. Owing to the convergence of major freeways and rail lines in Pensacola, the city became a destination for punk culture in the 1980s, with touring bands, artists, and fans passing through. Today, 309 serves as an archive and publisher dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of punk alongside a year-round residency program.
